That&rsquo;s a lesson that many recovering addicts have come to learn and appreciate. For many, recovery begins with going through a rehabilitation process that may involve a <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/the-programme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">recovery treatment programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often the case that clients arrive at treatment centres with a preconceived notion about what rehabilitation is. Many of them feel fearful and apprehensive about the process. While it is true that indeed it can be a challenging process, many addicts also find it to be an enlightening and uplifting process &ndash; one that could indeed change the course of their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Crossroads Recovery Centres, we apply a range of therapeutic methodologies in the treatment of addiction, but at the crux of our recovery treatment programme, is the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Narcotics Anonymous (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.na.org.za\/live\/\" target=\"_blank\">Narcotics Anonymous<\/a> programme which includes 12 fundamental steps. These steps form the basis of a new way of life for many recovery addicts. They include coming to understand one&rsquo;s powerlessness against addiction in any form, taking inventory of aspects such as guilt, shame and resentment and making amends to people whom the addict may have hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.na.org.au\/multi\/the-12-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"12 steps (opens in a new tab)\">12 steps<\/a> offer a simple, spiritual, not religious way to recover from drug addiction, one day at a time. As part of the recovery treatment programme at Crossroads Recovery Centres, we ensure that clients are introduced to the 12 steps during their stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend a minimum stay of 28 days, during\nwhich clients will be expected to complete the first 3 steps in writing, as\nwell as a life story. Clients who stay for an additional 28 days will be\nexpected to complete steps 4 to 8. Finally, clients who stay for the full\nduration of 84 days, will complete all 12 steps as part of the programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon leaving the treatment centre, clients will have the option of attending 12-step meetings that are relevant to their particular addiction. In this regard, there are a number 12-step fellowships around the world for various kinds of addictions like drugs, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"sex (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/sex-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\">sex<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"gambling (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/gambling-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\">gambling<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/food-addiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" food addiction (opens in a new tab)\"> food addiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or a loved one is in search of help for addiction in any form, know that help is readily available.<a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Contact us (opens in a new tab)\"> Contact us<\/a> for a free consultation and we&rsquo;ll support you in your journey.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Does a Drug Recovery Treatment Programme Entail?
